Is it dangerous to smoke marijuana and breastfeed?

Yes: Yes. Period. It's not a good idea to smoke anything during the age when babies are breastfeeding...Or after!

Yes: Of course! there is no argument that it is nothing but bad for you, so why would it be any different for your baby? Kick it, and for good... For the baby's sake!

Yes: Absolutely. It is dangerous to smoke marijuana yourself, and this will be transmitted to the baby from the air and from the milk. It will also impair your judgement when taking care and responding to your baby's needs. Please, do what you can to quit. Get help from your own doctor before this becomes a serious problem for your baby.

Probably not: Cannibus is now legal in 15 states nationally for a treatment of various disease states as decided for the individual state legislatures. Although thc, the active ingredient in marijuana does cross the blood brain barrier, and everyones brain has THC just like opoid receptors, there is absolutely no evidence that it found in breast milk of lactating mothers or has the capacity for fetal harm.

Impure, toxic air, milk: This is easy. Two main rules are: do not smoke anything in the house or around babies or children in general. Do not inhale, drink, eat, inject anything that might be dangerous in excess, is toxic or is not approved for breastfeeding. This is the tough part: if there is a medical need to take a particular pill or capsule or liquid, a breastfeeding woman and physician should discuss the risks and benefits of it.

Of course: Drugs that enter your body also pass into breastmilk. Breastfeeding with illegal drugs in your system exposes the baby to the same drugs. Also, no one who is high can be responsible for caring for the needs of an infant. Imagine asking if it is ok to be drunk while caring for your baby. Please seek help so you can provide a safe environment for your child. Social services can help and your doctor can help you find support as well.
